CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Nicole Newman (Madison, Wis.) threw her second career no hitter for the Drake University softball team Sunday in a 4-0 opening victory over Valparaiso and Drake rallied for a 2-1 win in the next game to complete another Missouri Valley Conference series sweep.
Drake (30-9, 13-0 MVC) and Valparaiso (17-18, 4-9 MVC) played in the UNI Dome on the campus of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls after inclement weather in Des Moines forced the team indoors. Saturday's scheduled doubleheader at Buel Field was cancelled.
Newman tossed her second career no-hitter with the first coming just over one week ago against SIU.
